Planets and the solar system are exciting themes --- Shadows and recognizing the sun during the day and the moon at night are perhaps less so.....but the important observations of the day and night sky can be slipped under the radar in the following lessons.
This science lesson also provides a wonderful way for parents to be part of what students learn at school --- providing a note home with the links to the night sky on the website and asking students to record their observations over a month are all great opportunities to stay in touch with parents about something other than the "drudgery of homework" and inspire some excitement about inquiry!
